    There's no way the richest continent should continue to struggle. The western world should back off! Europe and America has raped the continent for far too long. I wish African leaders would stop being sellouts!

    Africa's main problems relate to Africa's internal corruption (that from an African educator) and other cultural issues (including superstition about medicines and related practices) How you stop that spiral is anyone's guess but must start somewhere.

    I also wonder how the brain drain is impacting them as their trained professionals such as doctors and pharmacists try to get to the Western countries.

    That is why I said African leaders should stop being sellouts. They enrich themselves with Western funds to allow for the mass looting of the continent's resources while the people suffer.

    Do you have any sources to substantiate your claims about superstition and medicines?

    You have shared some old references. Still, I hope that those perceptions have been changing in recent years. I cannot blame Africans for being skeptical of Western medicines considering what the West has done to the continent. It's similar to the skepticism shared by some Black Americans due to systemic racism, including in healthcare, and the dark moment in history in Tuskegee, AL.
